We invite contributions for an edited collection, _Building Bridges:Second Language Writing Across Contexts_, which attempts to closeexisting gaps in international conversations among second languagewriting scholars in elementary and secondary schools, two-year colleges,post-secondary institutions, and community programs. Much currentscholarship on second language writing comes out of post-secondaryinstitutions in the United States. This volume attempts to build bridgesbetween this context and other sites of second language writingresearch, theory, and pedagogy.

We anticipate contributions to five major sections:-Exploring Boundaries: Disciplinary Realms for Second Language Writing-Understanding Contexts: The Current Status of Second Language Writing-Posing Questions: Sites of Inquiry in Second Language Writing-Supporting Collaboration: Projects that Cross Contextual Boundaries-Identifying Resources: Annotated Bibliographies on Second LanguageWriting in Context

Contributions might focus on, but are not limited to:-The current status of second language writing pedagogies, research, ortheories in a specific context;-Institutional locations of second language writing instruction andresearch in relation to disciplinary boundaries;-What second language writing scholars would like to learn from theircolleagues working in other contexts;-Underrepresented sites of second language writing scholarship;-Questions developing out of teaching or researching second languagewriting in a specific context;-Reports of in-progress or completed research that crosses contextualboundaries for second language writing;-Reports of in-progress or completed projects that reflectcollaborations among scholars working in different contexts; or-Suggestions for initiating and supporting collaborations among scholarsworking in different contexts.

All contributions should be accessible to readers who are new to thefield of second language writing or who primarily work in a relatedfield. Given the volume's focus on contexts, authors also should includedescriptions of their own institutional contexts.

We request that submissions not exceed 20 manuscript pages (including alist of references, tables and figures, and appendices). Please followthe manuscript preparation guidelines outlined in the 5th edition of theAPA Manual. We plan to send each manuscript out for external review tohelp us assess its quality and to generate feedback for revision.
